'Guitar Hero' Won't Switch To Band-Only Format

Activision wants you to know that, although the next Guitar Hero game coming out is Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, the series is not going in a band-specific-only direction.

“It’s its own path,” producer Aaron Habibipour told MTV. Band-specific “GH” games and full “GH” sequels can be developed at the same time.

Also, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith will be easier than Guitar Hero III.

“We went back and re-tuned the game so it was back to where people felt it needed to be,” producer Aaron Habibipour said. That doesn’t mean the game has been dramatically altered — “medium is not the old easy” — but the developers listened to “GH III” players who felt like the game might have had too many brick walls for casual fans.
